| Bill,
I'm using WShell for 1.5 years now and simply couldn't live without
it.
Since you now own a (albeit MUCH to small ;-) hard disk, DON'T remove
any CBM C: commands!
WShell will use it internal commands, but can overide them and use
the next ones on the PATH in case of trouble (no incompatitbilty
known at this time).
And you want to mount ConMan in as much variations it comes, since
mounting CNC: etc, doesn't take much memory and ConMan will be hanging
around anyway...
And no, you don't need Shell-Seg, but as above don't delete anything
you might wanna use at a later point in time...
If you have more questions, I fear you'll have to wait 'till next
year if you want answers from me. ;-)
Happy new year Amigoids,
<CB>

| 3272.2 | to Shell or not to Shell | SALEM::LEIMBERGER | | Fri Jan 05 1990 04:27 | 23 |
| RE -1
Now that I have it up and running I have to agree. I am sending
for ver 1.2 today. Wshell is probably one of the best buys in the
Amiga community. I find however it is not a big seller at the stores.
The copy I bought had been on the shelf a very long time. My thoughts
on this are"most users especially the new ones have no idea of the
power of this shell".Of course on the net we also have several PD
shell's that are very good.I would like to see my local dealer put
wshell on at least one of his systems.The problem is that at first
glance it appears to be very complex,and in truth it is. However
Bill did a great job of making most of this complexity transparent.
The type of packages the new user tends to lean toward are the
workbench driven ones,like Diskmaster etc. While these are good
tools,and help sell many Amiga's they tend to hide the inherent
power of AmigaDos. I bought my Wshell manual into work,and several
people that use DCL on the Vax,an are very good at writing com
files were quite impressed with it.They had no Idea that the Amiga
operating system could offer things like PIPES etc. These are basically
Adventurous type people,and were excited by the challenge of
intergrating Arexx,ScriptIt,Wshell,and workbench into a custom
interface of their very own. I would like to see Wshell right alongside
Arexx in version 1.4 .

| 3272.3 | WShell V2.0 Upgrades? | ULTRA::KINDEL | Bill Kindel @ LTN1 | Fri Jan 10 1992 14:31 | 5 |
| Now that WShell 2.0 is available, is there an upgrade path from 1.x for
those of us who didn't choose to pay for all the intermediate updates?
I've been VERY happy with WShell on 1.3, but that version doesn't
fully get along with V2.04 of AmigaDOS.

| If it exists (and I believe it does), you have to order it from Bill Hawes
direct. Contact information is in the WShell manual.
If you registered the product (and haven't moved since), you should have
gotten a postcard announcing 2.0 and the upgrade policy.

| 3272.5 | Amiga keyboard keycodes? | DECWET::DAVIS | Mark W. Davis 206.865.8749 | Fri Jan 10 1992 18:31 | 7 |
| Speaking of Wshell. Can someone point me to a listing of the keycodes
for the Amiga keyboard. The WShell 2.0 manual alludes to a file
containing the keycodes but it is not present on the disk. WShell 2.0
is GREAT!!!
